Two à la carte rituals, without hurry.
Available on request from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., 25 CHF per day per room, two hours maximum. A short ritual after the walk.
Relaxing, sports, neuromuscular or Thai «Nuad Boran» massages, by a certified practitioner. By appointment.
Marked paths start from the house, leading to the Chasseron summit, the Creux du Van and Lac des Taillières. IGN maps and itinerary tips available on request.

Warm ritual
Our sauna is a wooden barrel set apart from the main house. A round cabin, dry steam, a single bench seating two to three people — the opposite of a hotel spa.
Four approaches
Massages are given by a certified therapist who comes to the house. Each type meets a distinct need — letting go, recovery, targeted pain or an Eastern tradition.

60 or 90 min
Gentle pressure, long effleurages, warm oil. To unwind after a day of walking.
60 min
Deep kneading on the muscles you have used. Ideal for hikers and cyclists.
60 min
Focused work on tension points and chronic knots. A precise therapeutic approach.
90 min
Assisted stretches and acupressure on a floor mat, in loose clothing. A thousand-year-old tradition.
How to book
Write to reservation@essenceciel.org when booking your room, or the day before arrival. We pass the request to the therapist and confirm the slot during the day.
